it's only good to announce games once they have really started development, and it sounds really ambitious for amateurs
Maximum Overdrive is based on a Stephen King story called "Trucks" -- which is much better than the movie, sadly (though I agree that the clip is disturbingly awesome). Actually, that could make for a very cool FPS.
it's true, that's one of the only decent parts of the film. it's laughably bad, but because of that i can still enjoy it somewhat. now when you say it could be a cool fps do you mean a maximum overdrive fps or a vending machine soda can fps
Actually, I meant an FPS where you fight regular machines gone amok. But now that you mention it, you could do a game in which you are the soda machine, and you wait for kids to come over and wham! That would be awesome!!!!
it could work as a metaphor for junk food destroying our youth. it's a million dollar idea i tells ya. the possibilities are endless too with shaken up soda can grenades or rapid fire red bull. i demand this game be made...and then for my ipod to strangle me with the headphones cord in midplay for extra difficulty.
Twinkies as chemical weapons! This game must be made! Alright, enough of that... By the way, iphoneprogrammer, I am very much aware of how children can lay waste to the best laid plans (awesome as they are otherwise). You have my sympathy...
